Basking in the glory of the vague

Blair facing Lords stand-off over ID cards and 'glorifying' terrorism

I said it was a busy week in parliament but I've been buried in wires (the untappable kind) - hence the short absence.

We now have yet another bill gone though - this time on the "glorification" of "terror". As the above link points out, we can now expect a game of ping-pong as the House of Lords re-examine both it and the ID card proposals yet again. Could be fun, since the proposed legislation has not actually defined either "glorification" or "terror". An early definition of "glorification" by the government included a reference to as yet undefined "terror" within itself and was subsequently dropped before the Wednesday vote. The vote was hardly meaningless but on paper looks set to cause great confusion.

Later.
